On this day 15 years ago, the Marlins rallied from a three-run ninth-inning deficit to top the Mets in 10 innings. Dan Uggla played the role of hero with a walk-off double in an 8-7 victory.
The Marlins actually took a 4-3 lead to the ninth inning at Dolphin Stadium on Sept. 20, 2007. With one out and the bases loaded, New York’s Marlon Anderson unloaded them with a three-run double.
